A few months ago I was really considering what I should finish my degree in. The plan has always been Elementary Ed, but I had been thinking about Exercise Science and getting certified to be a personal trainer. What had changed my mind? Well, lots of things, but in particular at this time I had been going to the gym at my apartment complex to train for 1/2 marathon for the last couple of months. Almost every time without fail there would be a lady in there I'd never seen before and somehow or another the questions would arise about what I do in the gym, how I train, my diet etc, etc. This gets me so excited and revved up about fitness.
Now let's be honest, I'm not the most in shape, skinny or fit person out there. I'd say I'm an average athlete. I can do a 1/2 marathon and keep up with most training just fine. As I got to thinking more about it I began to be more and more about really doing this as a career because I would get so excited talking to these ladies and reading articles. Then, reality set in. I realized that I am a Mom and a Wife, I don't have time to be a fitness model, and that's what people want when they go see a personal trainer. I don't want people constantly judging me about what I look like because of my profession.
So here's the deal- this blog is my way of "training". I am going to be answering questions, posting suggestions, recipes, articles and just about anything related to being a MOM and physically active and in good shape. I want you start sending your fitness questions my way- if I don't have an answer I will find someone that does. There will be a lot of fun and exciting things to come, guest bloggers, workout video tutorials, and give-away's!!
